Financial Section Management’s Discussion and Analysis

38 District of Columbia FY 2009 CAFR

• Sales and use tax revenues declined $49,848 in fiscal year 2009. Cigarette excise tax was $13,720 higher than the fiscal year 2008 amount due to an increase in the tax rate to $2.00 in fiscal year 2009. Motor vehicle excise tax was $8,053 lower than the previous year’s amount due to weak demand for automobiles.

• Income and franchise tax declined by $277,826. Individual income tax revenue declined $206,861 over the previous year. Although tax collections through withholding increased by 2% between 2008 and 2009, non-withholding tax collections, which are tied closely to the financial markets, declined sharply by 66%.

• Corporate franchise tax revenue was $64,321 less in fiscal year 2009 than in the prior year, mainly due to the impact of economic events such as the collapse of major financial institutions, which severely affected capital markets and corporate profits suffered.

• An $89,382 decline in fiscal year 2009 revenue as compared to the prior year for deed recordation tax and deed transfer tax reflects the general slowdown in the real estate markets, both in lower prices and sharply lower volume of sales.

• The increase in the tax rate for transfers of economic interest eliminated the incentive to structure real estate ownership through limited liability corporations. The tax rate increased to be equal to the sum of the deed recordation and deed transfer. The number of transactions declined significantly from fiscal year 2008 to fiscal year 2009, reducing the revenue by $46 million, or 85%.

Comparison of Annual Operating Results: Expenditures and Other Uses (GAAP-Basis) Actual General Fund expenditures and other uses totaled $6,970,845 in fiscal year 2009, as compared to $7,197,064 in fiscal year 2008, representing a decrease of $226,219. Chart 8 presents a comparative summary of actual General Fund expenditures and other uses (local source only) by function for fiscal years 2009 and 2008.

The noted decrease in expenditures and other uses was due, in part, to the following: Government Direction and Support: Spending in this function decreased by $74,182 over the prior year. In general, this variance is due to several factors including: (a) salary lapses resulting from timing delays between the departure and hiring of FTEs; (b) fixed costs savings refunded at the end of the fiscal year; (c) imposed spending restrictions; and (d) delays in initiating contractual services. Spending in local sources decreased by $3,167 over the one-year period. Factors contributing to this variance include: (a) a decrease in spending of $10,182 by the Office of the Chief Technology Officer; and (b) a $10,000 decrease in Section 103 judgments. Other smaller variances such as $816 variance in the Office of the City Administrator, $527 in the Office of Finance and Resource Management, $381 variance in the Office of Contracting and Procurement, also contributed to this one-year variance.
